Drag Racing is a down-to-earth form of motor sport that
is both accessible and affordable. It fascinates an
ever-growing community of fans around the world.

This has partly to do with the sport itself, but
certainly also with drag racing´s very individual brand
of aesthetics when it comes to cars and the people who
drive, repair and admire them. Drag racing is a mix of
uproariously loud, primordial displays of power and
high-tech; it drivers love the sport but flirt openly
with destruction and putting their lives in danger.

Spreed Kings presents photographs by Dirk Behlau that
skilfully capture the adrenalin-fuelled athmosphere of
suspense on and alongside the track, as well as
the eroticism of the machines and the people who give
their lives for a few seconds of the ultimate kick.

interview with Dirk Behlau.
"It's a Satanic drag thing you wouldn't understand! It's
not what you think it is. It's pure power, adrenaline,
danger, suspense, Pin-Ups, passion and soul. Call it
Rock'n'Roll. Die Gestalten proudly present Speed Kings,
the hottest publication this summer is likely to see.

show the wonderful world of Drag racing."

"Hey to all
the Hot Rod Fanatics out there that do not own this book:
Buy it! The photography work is fantastic! And a rare
shot of me without my hat on! Hahaha! It is a great book!"
